My buddy and I had breakfast here and I'm not sure where the low ratings are coming from. He had an omelet with farm potatoes, toast and coffee - he said it was hot and good. I had a shipwreck and it was good as well. 3 eggs, 3 ingredients (sausage, corned beef hash and cheese sauce), and barn potatoes. I drank chocolate milk. We both took food home as these portions are large - so I have breakfast tomorrow. Our waitress was friendly and quick. The restaurant was clean and decorated in the breakfast house style that it is. Again, I'm not sure of the low ratings, I will return. read more

Breakfast Barn and Lunch House - Barn Shipwreck - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I was surprised how much I liked this place. I was not expecting much having not heard anything about this place. On a whim we decided to try it out for lunch. I had a mushroom burger. I was not asked and it was cooked medium, I would have preferred a little less but it still had a good taste. There was plenty of cooked mushrooms but no sauce. The side of mac & cheese was tasty. My company had the French dip that looked like it had a good helping of beef. The side of fries had a light seasoned salt giving it a little extra flavor. Service was very attentive and polite, possibly because there were not many people for the late lunch crowd. The place was well lit with plenty of windows and looked clean. It could hold a larger group if needed. If given the chance we will be back. read more

I have visited the breakfast barn four times, and from the first to most recent, everything is always on point! The first time was what drew us in! The pancakes!!! I'm not sure what they put in them, but oh my gosh!! Noted every visit. The food is always piping hot, tastes fresh and delicious, and the service is always been on! Oh, and their drink selection, ice coffees and fresh squeezed orange juice, which is amazing! Can't say enough great things about the breakfast barn! Visited on January 9,2025 read more

First visit was for lunch. Shared the Rueben sandwich with my wife. Absolutely delicious! A few weeks later we took our son for breakfast. He had a Gyro omelette, wife had bacon and eggs and I had eggs Benedict. All 3 were excellent. Great service both times! Definitely going back again and again. read more

Food is low quality, not good. Disappointing to know breakfast made at home would be 20 times better. Service was slow due to busyness.

My boyfriend and I were so blessed to have found this place !!! Great food, amazing service and the two ladies were so very sweet !!! I had the best pumpkin waffle I have ever had with cinnamon butter on it and whipped cream read more

The food and service are always great here!! They keep us coming back every time we're in Cedar Rapids.

Stopped in for dinner with my mom and loved the food. We've stopped in before and are always happy with the service and food. There was one waitress working but she was doing so well keeping up with everyone there. read more

Best pancakes and French toast in town! The service was quick and attentive. The breakfast quesadilla was a fun twist as well!

Great place to meet friends. We met at 10:30 am. Some of us had breakfast, some had lunch. I ordered the apple pancakes. Yummy! Smothered in whipped cream and as big as the plate. Others enjoyed their food too. We will return. read more

So first thing you need to understand is that I am a pancake girl so I try them everywhere and Breakfast Barn has a great pancake, this is not praise I give away lightly. The unique thing about them is the pancake toppings they offer, their brown sugar butter is amazing. read more

Decor is homey! Seated right away. Received food quickly. Very tasty! Husband liked the large portion and flavor of his catfish sandwich and fresh veggies. I liked my Reuben with lots of corned beef & sauerkraut. The coleslaw was tasty too! read more

Breakfast Barn and Lunch House - Seating areas - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Grate and fast serves ,and the food was good! Overall I have nothing bad to say about the serves.

I got the breakfast quesadilla the outside was very nice and crispy except it was fried in old oil so there was a really bad burnt taste. I don't even think there was any eggs in it and it was very very dry. It was like they were from days before and just heated up. This is the second time I've been to this place And I couldn't finish my meal. The wait staff were top notch read more

What a cute little diner! Great service, friendly staff, good food, decent prices. I think their cheese sauce is homemade. We also had the Cobb salad, and that was good, too! All day breakfast! Next time we want to try the broasted chicken and fresh squeezed orange juice! read more

Yummy food & Great service!! Breakfast & Lunch items available & was even able to get pie to go!! read more

No idea why we didn't stop sooner. We actually had dinner here. We will be back. Service was amazing. Too younger kiddos working (love that!) the floor and serving. All customers around us seemed to have enjoyed all of their food as well. I had broasted chicken, side salad, mac and cheese. The portions are GREAT. It feels so much like a mom and pop shop, I loved it. read more

Service was horrendous but food was amazing. It feels like cabin and many tvs with multiple sports games on.

OK, so it will not let me put both pictures up. The picture that is up now is a picture of some euro fries. The container is not even close to full. They claim they don't do a half order which I've been buying them since they merged with breakfast barn from Burger fien town. I've been buying a half an order that will feed me for two days Now this order is barely an order. The morning crew is rude as fuck and ask for my money back, I will not be eating there anymore because they still haven't worked out the order the menu and the morning crew that probably was the breakfast barn. Staff is rude as fuck the burger fien ladies are extremely nice and the lady with her head wrapped around is rude wanting to explain that we weigh out our food and all this other stuff give me my money back. That's all I ask you give me an explanation of why this food looks so small is irrelevant. read more

Great local spot! The menu has everything you could ask for in a great breakfast, with some nice ala carte options. Portion was generous and everything tasted fantastic! Staff was very friendly, and the place was very clean. I'll be returning here for more in the future! read more

Breakfast Barn and Lunch House - Country fried steak and eggs with shred hash browns. Full service coffee. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

First time at this business Sunday morning. I went there for breakfast. Very nice atmosphere and restaurant was busy at 9am when I arrived. Host was Summer and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the offerings that they had. I ordered one pancake to try and was very pleased. I ordered the pancake to eat first snd was taken care of. Great size snd taste with great syrup I ordered Eggs Benedict traditional with hash browns. Everything was cooked to perfection. Great taste and quantity and presentation. Drink was kept full and I will have to say that the food was great and I will go back. Service was great also so s very good experience read more

We tried this place a year ago and the food was cold. We decided to give it another try today. The only thing hot was the chicken fried steak. The eggs, biscuits and hashbrowns were all cold. The cook needs to figure out in what order to cook the food so it will all get to the table hot. Not giving a 3rd try. read more

Do not do business with these people, Omar and Ollie are swindlers and likely to scam people they sold my Homie a car with sugar in the transmission to keep burger feind in business food is also trash serving size is tiny read more

A winner on my book! Eggs and ham with house potatoes. Potatoes were definitely the star of the meal. Vicki was super nice, great service. My colleague had an omelet and fruit and said it was also very good. read more

The bacon was horrible,tasted like grease from being deep fried. The blueberry pancakes tasted pasty. Vicki our server was very nice accommodated our request of food into a meal on the menu. Location was clean and relaxed atmosphere read more

Don't take 3 as an overly harsh critique or mean that you take a pass on the place. If you didn't know, this took the place of BurgerFiend and I much prefer this establishment given the lack of breakfast places in the area. When I walked in there were quite a few people waiting, but that's expected on a Sunday morning. I picked a spot at the counter. My server warned me there was a 40-minute wait on food and I totally appreciate that warning. The serving staff was extremely nice, every time my glass was near empty I was asked if I wanted a refill and everyone was working hard. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla with sausage. It was good. A nice twist was the include hash browns in the quesadilla which added a great crunch. And it was very filling. If you prefer your food somewhat bland, this is your dish. The salsa added needed flavor but nothing really stood out. I think if they add a chorizo option it would be great. Breakfast Barn has a feel of a work in progress and I am totally willing to support them through their growing pains. I was told their menu is a work in progress and I hope they add dishes that set them apart from the usual fare. They also have a machine that extracts juice from oranges that is extremely satisfying to watch and you know you are getting freshly-squeezed OJ! read more

First time I tried to go for breakfast, there was a 45 minute wait, not because it was full but because of staffing issues as there were lots of empty tables. I get lots of places are having this problem. Tried again this morning for breakfast and was pretty underwhelmed. The ice tea didn't taste fresh brewed and the coffee was overly bitter. My omelet and hashbrows were okay but I'm not even sure what I was served for bacon? It was thin and wavy and had squared-off ends. It had a smoky taste, but that was NOT real bacon. My friend had breakfast potatoes but were very salty. And both of our toast was so toasted it literally hurt to eat. First impressions matter, so I doubt we'll be back. read more

Service was very friendly and attentive. Clean spaces. The food was ok. Though the coffee was extremely weak. It was like coffee water. Unfortunately the classic breakfast that was ordered at our table was EXTREMELY salty...to the point it almost burned your taste buds. I THINK I'd go back, but not sure. Not bad...but also not great. read more

We go here for breakfast every time we're in Cedar Rapids. Amazing home cooking. Don't sleep on the breakfast quesadilla. I know it sounds strange, but the sausage one is amazing. Service is always friendly. Food delivery can take a bit because they're actually cooking it, not just heating it up. It's worth the wait. read more

Slow as Fu#k!!!! Food is good but no urgency here. If you have time to spend then this is your place. Giving 3 stars because I'm guessing they are like any other place that has staffing issues! read more

at this moment they get 4 stars from me because the lady that was at burger fien are very nice and when they was by itself on 16 th SW it was GREAT the gyro fries was the the best but now that they have merged with this restaurant they are not as good as they where I dont even want to order this anymore they don't give as much the meat is now cut thin and they keep putting ranch and not gyro sauce so missed up read more

I noticed this place one day on the way to work, so I thought we would give this new breakfast place a try on a Saturday morning. Cedar Rapids is pretty short on breakfast restaurants and my homemade stuff is hard to compete but I thought I would pamper myself for a change. The service here was good and the decor was pleasant. (I had been here before when it was Burgerfeen, so I noticed the dramatic change.) Mostly older patrons here, but nothing seemed too off at first glance. I ordered the cinnamon roll type of french toast, which come without any options to make it a "complete" breakfast. The only way to get sausage and hashbrowns added was to pay the full a la carte add-on price, which basically doubled the price of the "meal". For $4 you get two mini sausage patties that may have amounted to about as much meat as you would expect from one simple McDonald's sized sausage patty. Based on the other review here it seems that the patties are likely NOT pork. I tend to not eat much pork but there are certain items that one expects to come made out of pork and I am NOT religious about my food. I think if the owner is against pork, he should inform his customers so they will not feel misled. I really think the bottom line that makes me unlikely to return to this restaurant is how they nickle-and-dime you when it comes to buying breakfast and wanting to make it complete by adding items that are common in a complete breakfast. When you pay $8 for french toast, it would be fair to charge a more reasonable amount for some hash browns and (maybe) an ounce of griddled meat. read more

Amazing food! Great selections and service. Will definitely be back!! If you leave hungry you didn't do it right!

Worst food. The waitress asked why are plates were still full. I said the eggs are powdered eggs and are gritty.The ham I said is not ham. She told me that the owners religion won't cook pork so the ham is made of beef! Why the heck would your menu say bacon, ham and sausage but no where does it say that it is not made from pork! I received a childs fork and when I asked for a different one the waitress was put out. Very costly also.Will not ever ever return. read more

Breakfast Barn and Lunch House - two forks on a table - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Food and service never disappoints. I came here with my family and they insisted on coming multiple times through our stay

We went for breakfast, and my husband ordered a side of hashbrowns. They came out cold and asked for them to take back and finish cooking them. At the end of our meal, they finally showed up. The waitress was too busy serving all the single men, then waiting on us. Won't go back. read more

Greasy scrambled eggs floppy bacon from a holding pan....sausage gravy was runny and no flavor.

The food is always delicious, and the staff is super friendly. It can get pretty busy, so expect a wait. Highly recommend the cinnamon apple pancakes! read more

We came here about a month ago and had a not great experience so we came back today for breakfast. We walked in and were told there would be a 10-15 minute wait for a table, no big deal it's a holiday and there's not a ton of places open. We were seated, ordered our food, and then waited for our food. After 50 minutes of waiting we asked our server for an ETA on when our food (2 orders of country fried steak and 2 pancakes) would be up, she checked with the kitchen and we were told that our food was being finished up and would be the next out of the kitchen. Over the next 10 minutes we watched food come out to other tables, but still not ours. Leading me to believe that our food had in fact not even been started on when we were told we were up next. After about an hour and 10 minutes, we received our food. The food was good, it was warm and exactly what you'd expect from a diner. But still not really any explanation as to what took so long. My husband went up to pay and I would assume it was the manager up front all decked out in 4th of July attire, just stating "Yeah we've been slammed." No apology, no explanation. I'm sorry, but I've worked in restaurants for almost 10 years, and considering it was simple breakfast food we ordered it shouldn't have taken more than 20-30 minutes to make the food even when slammed. Also, if your kitchen is struggling to keep up, why are you still seating tables? And if you're still seating tables, why aren't you providing guests with a heads up that yes a table has come available but the kitchen is falling behind and it's gonna be quite awhile on food. You'd think as the manager when you see that ticket lead times are pushing 50 minutes you'd pay a visit to tables to apologize or offer some form of explanation? It's not like they were too busy running food..We definitely weren't the only ones experiencing this frustration as all of the tables around us shared our same experience. This was our last time visiting the breakfast barn. read more
